Traffic gridlock on the Long Marston site

Video showing the three-mile traffic jam on the Long Marston site that followed a concert in July 2005

This video shows the three-mile long traffic jam that followed an all-night club event on the Long Marston site in July 2005.

The gridlock started at 7am in the morning as an estimated 20,000 clubbers left the God's Kitchen event on the site of the proposed eco-town. The footage was taken by a local resident driving along the B4632 at 2pm that afternoon and is a clear indication of the kind of appalling congestion likely to occur if the eco-town is developed.
